Some studies suggest they may have similar benefits for humans – a fact that’s made this combination one of the top-selling supplements in the United States.

They may temporarily ease your pain, but they can also cause ulcers and other gastrointestinal woes. So, what if I told you that there’s a powerful alternative to such drugs? And it doesn’t come […]

Could the answer to today’s modern stresses be found in the roots of an ancient Indian shrub? That’s what proponents of ashwagandha are banking on. This plant-based remedy has been used for millennia as a treatment for a slew of concerns and conditions, from arthritis and insomnia to infertility and low libido. Even better?
